Thief (character class) - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article |
 | | The thief character class in role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons, Final Fantasy, and most MMORPGs are stealthy, dextrous characters who are the only characters who can disarm traps, pick locks, and perform backstabs from hiding. |
 | | Typically, these thieves are capable of hand to hand fighting or usage of bows, and while stronger than a mage, are outclassed in physical combat by character classes who are dedicated to such talents. |
 | | Although the thief as an archetype in role-playing games achieved popularity through Dungeons and Dragons, in the game's Third Edition the class was renamed as "Rogue", likely since not all stealthy characters are actually thieves. |
